[SOLVED] Curl help

[coolbeansdude51]

Hello everyone,

 

I am trying to get this Curl call to work.  All the info for the API can be found here http://tatango.com/developers/tatango_api/docs

 

I am attempting to do the send a message call. Which is looks like this.

 

curl -u360XXXXXXX:password http://tatango.com/groups/31/messages.xml -dmessage[content]='Here is my message' -i

 

I attempt to form it with php curl and I just get lost.

 

This is what I have come up with:

<?php
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://tatango.com/groups/31/messages.xml");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);

// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>

 

 

I am completely lost on how to form this.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

-Adam

Anyone?

The curl options are listed here: http://sg2.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

 

It looks like you need to set the username and password (-u), and also set the post data (-d), and make sure you are doing a post.

 

Since the original command line had the -i option, you probably want CURLOPT_HEADER set to 1 rather than 0.

Alright.  Looked at all of that.  How about something like this?  I tried it ... didn't work but am I on the right track?

 

<?php
error_reporting('ALL');
$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';

$curl_handle = curl_init();

curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, "https://tatango.com/groups/YOURID/messages.xml");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "dmessage[content]=test");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
?>

 

Thanks for the help!

BAH!

 

I figured it out!

 

I completely forgot that I left in the D.  It should look like this:

 

<?php
error_reporting('ALL');
$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';

$curl_handle = curl_init();

curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, "https://tatango.com/groups/YOURID/messages.xml");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "message[content]=test");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
?>
